Spryza · Cold Application Guide

A lineup of smoothies — from breakfast fuel to a chilled savoury shake

Spryza blends are mild-milled to roughly 350 microns and disperse completely in liquid — no grit, no residue at the bottom of the glass. A blender never generates heat, so it's the single easiest way to add a blend without any risk to the vitamins that break down above 70°C. Grouped by flavour direction rather than age — add more as they come.

The Lineup

Blend it in, every time

Unlike a hot dish, a smoothie never has a "wait for it to cool" step — the blend can go straight into the jug with everything else, at any point in the process.

Morning Fuel

sweet, quick, blended in seconds
Breakfast · kid-friendly
01
Banana, Oat & Honey, KVB
KVB · Kalahari Vital Blend
1 banana
2 tbsp rolled oats
250ml milk or oat milk
1 tsp honey
2g KVB
Tiny pinch of Oryx Fine Desert Salt (optional — sharpens the sweetness)
Ice, blend until smooth
Sunflower and pea's mild, slightly nutty flavour disappears into banana and oats completely — nothing for a fussy palate to notice.
Breakfast · green
02
Green Apple, Spinach & Ginger, KPB
KPB · Kalahari Prime Blend
1 handful spinach
1 green apple, cored
Thumb of fresh ginger
Juice of half a lemon
200ml coconut water
2–3g KPB
Ice, blend until smooth
KPB's broccoli and mustard carry the same cruciferous edge kale does in any green smoothie — apple and ginger are the standard mask, and it works the same way here.

Savoury & Chilled

closer to a cold soup than a fruit smoothie
Chilled · savoury
03
Avocado, Cucumber & Garlic Chive
KEB-I · Kalahari Elders Blend I
Half an avocado
Half a cucumber, roughly chopped
200ml plain yoghurt or buttermilk
Squeeze of lime
3g KEB-I
Oryx Fine Desert Salt and Oryx Black Pepper, to taste
Ice, blend until smooth
KEB-I's garlic chive is a savoury note, not a sweet one — rather than fight it in a fruit smoothie, this leans into it as a chilled shake, closer to a blended soup than a dessert drink.
Chilled · savoury
04
Pea & Leek, "Vichyssoise" Style
KEB-II · Kalahari Elders Blend II
150g frozen peas, thawed
200ml plain yoghurt or buttermilk
A few mint leaves
Squeeze of lemon
3g KEB-II
Oryx Fine Desert Salt and Oryx Black Pepper, to taste
Ice, blend until smooth
KEB-II is already pea and leek — this doesn't mask the blend, it leans straight into it. A cold pea-and-leek soup is a genuine, well-established pairing (vichyssoise), not an invented one.

The Full System

blend, single crop, and the infused oil together
Blend + Phyto-Infused Oil
05
Mango, Coconut & the Full System
KVB · Kalahari Vital Blend + Phyto-Infused Macadamia Oil
1 cup mango, frozen
200ml coconut milk
1 banana
2–3g KVB
5ml (1 tsp) Phyto-Infused Macadamia Oil
Ice, blend until smooth
Vitamins A, E, and K in the dried blend are fat-soluble — they need a fat source to absorb properly. The infused oil does more than carry: its 8–12 day cold infusion already pulled a second layer of dissolved carotenoids, chlorophyll and flavonoids out of the microgreens and into the oil itself. Blend both together and you're drinking two complementary layers of the plant in one glass, not just one plus a fat source.
Tropical · single crop
06
Mango, Pineapple & Sunflower
SUN · Sunflower Striped (Single Crop)
1 cup pineapple
Half a cup mango
200ml coconut water
3g SUN single crop
Tiny pinch of Oryx Fine Desert Salt (optional)
Ice, blend until smooth
Sunflower microgreen carries a mild, nutty, sunflower-seed character — the same role tahini or nut butter plays in a tropical smoothie. The straw-gold single crop colour echoes the fruit it's blended with.
A note on technique

The simplest format there is — because blending is already cold

A blender doesn't generate meaningful heat, so unlike a sandwich or a hot dish, there's no "wait for it to cool" step here at all. The dried blend can go into the jug at the very start, alongside everything else, and still never approach the 70°C threshold that damages enzyme activity.

Sweet vs. savoury is a genuine flavour decision, not a stylistic one. KVB and KPB are mild and neutral enough to disappear into any fruit base. KEB-I and KEB-II both carry alliums (garlic chive, leek) — pleasant, but savoury by nature, so they're built into chilled, soup-style shakes here rather than forced into something sweet.

Quick reference

Morning Fuel: blend everything together from the start — no order matters, nothing needs to cool first.

Savoury & Chilled: treat as a cold soup, not a dessert drink — yoghurt or buttermilk as the base, salt and pepper to taste, served straight from the fridge.

The Full System: add the oil at the same time as the blend — blending disperses both evenly, no separate step required.

On the salt: a small pinch of Oryx Fine Desert Salt in a sweet smoothie is a standard flavour-sharpening trick, the same principle as salt in banana bread. In the savoury shakes it's doing real seasoning work, alongside Oryx Black Pepper to taste.
